Unidentified Property in Control in my codeigniter framework - php

Question

I am new to frameworks and trying to send values to database table, I have done it simply but now I am using templates (the famous alemsaeed free AdminLTE) now after setting BASEPATH and giving database connection in database.php,I am still getting errors.
However the code looks fine but I don't know please kindly tell me the reason it's my 2nd week in codeigniter.
MODEL
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Mdl extends CI_Model {
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
function form_insert($data){
$data = array(
'name' => $this->input->post('name'),
'fname' => $this->input->post('fname'),
'dob' =>$this->input->post('dob')
);
$this->db->insert('folio', $data);
}
}
?>
Controller
public function index() {
$this->load->helper(array('form','url'));
$this->load->view('myself');
}
public function eid() {
$this->load->helper(array('form','url'));
$this->load->database();
$this->load->model('mdl');
$this->model->form_insert();
$this->load->view('edu');
}
}
?>
View
Note:i have shorted the whole view code because it's a template
For Form Loading the usual
<?php
echo form_open(site_url().'/ctrl/eid/');
$attributes = array('class' => 'sidebar-form');
?>
<label>Enter Your Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="YourName" name="name">
<label>Father Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="fname" placeholder="father name">
<input type="date" class="form-control" name="dob" placeholder="DD/MM/YYYY" >
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info pull-right">Submit</button>
</div>
<div class="box-footer">

Answer 1

Remove argument $data from form_insert method of model. Like: public function form_insert() {/* rest of code here */} because you are not passing anything from controller. Although I would advice you that you do that passing from controller like:
public function eid()
{
//controller
$data = array();
$data['name'] => $this->input->post('name'),
$data['fname'] => $this->input->post('fname'),
$data['dob'] =>$this->input->post('dob'),
$this->load->helper(array('form','url'));
$this->load->database();
$this->load->model('mdl');
if ( $this->model->form_insert($data) )
{
//success view
}
else
{
//insert fail view
}
}
function form_insert($data)
{
//model
$this->db->insert('folio', $data);
return $this->db->affected_rows() > 0;
}

In Controller
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
//load default helpers in this
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->model('mdl');
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('myself');
}
public function eid()
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$dob = $_POST['dob'];
if(!empty($name) || !empty($fname) || !empty($dob))
{
$this->Mdl->form_insert($name, $fname, $dob);//Model name should be Mdl
$this->load->view('edu');
}
else
{
//fields are empty
}
}
In Model
function form_insert($name, $fname, $dob)
{
$data = array(
'name' => $name,
'fname' => $fname,
'dob' => $dob
);
$this->db->insert('folio', $data);
}
In View (Form should be)
<form action="<?php echo base_url();?>index.php/ctrl/eid" method="post" class="sidebar-form">
<label>Enter Your Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="YourName" name="name">
<label>Father Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="fname" placeholder="father name">
<label>Date Of Birth</label>
<input type="date" class="form-control" name="dob" placeholder="DD/MM/YYYY" >
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info pull-right">Submit</button>
</form>

Answer 3

The Problem was in the Controller
it should be the modelfileName not model in the code where we load the function
$this->mdl->form_insert();
And this did work :D
The Next problem was in the sitemap
it was this before
$config['site_url']='../../folio/';
instead of this
$config['site_url']='http://localhost/folio/index.php/';
But Once Again i appreciate all for your help it really means to me a lot .
